Foreigner.
Level by José
Walkthrough by G&D Productions.
5 secrets
Lara just got out of the SUV, take a step forward to a pedestal with the Uzis and Uzi ammo
and a flyby starts showing you around this huge palace area. Better put on your
running shoes…
Jumping the Pit, the Ornate Lion
Key.
Go get the Uzis and 3
x Uzi ammo and head S, to a fenced off area in the corner passing a
Medipack behind a fence. Opposite on the wall (E) hidden in a plant is a jump
lever. This de-activates the trap and so now you can get Secret #1, a Medipack.
Go to the pit SE. Stand on the tile W of the deep pit and flames appear
over the pit, they change position every now and then. Two tigers also will
attack. Go to the right, near the wall and face the first flame (underneath an
invisible ledge). Run jump when it is about to appear and try to land on the
right hand side of the ledge. Immediately save after each successful jump. Turn
left and run jump to the spot where the next flame is about to appear, landing
a bit left. Go on like this till you are on the last from where you can do a
stand jump grab to the pedestal with the Ornate
Lion Key. You’ll be transported back to safety.
(Players can be
guided here with the sounds of the rolling ball to know when the flames are
about to appear/disappear).
We better go use that Key first so we can get some transportation around
here. Go back N towards the SUV and to the NE corner building.
The Quad Room Key.
Open the building with the Ornate Lion Key and shoot a Tiger with two
heads. In the entrance are some Flares,
in the NE corner pillar in the room is a push block, move it under a bit
different looking tile on the ceiling in the NW corner and a trapdoor opens
where the block used to be. Get in there and use the jump lever on the N side.
Climb up and the Quad Room Key is
now accessible in the cage in the middle. Grab that and get out.
The Quad.
Go to the right and between the two next buildings (W) is a Keyhole. Go
towards the gate that opened and Lara will look to the left, so take note what
you see in there. The position of the statues around the 2 Quads, are the clue
for the statues in the other room. So three of them only have to be moved one
square, the last one a bit more. Go place them and the Quad room opens up.
Quad ride, the South Bridge Key.
Take a Quad, go out of the alley and left or right, run over two
soldiers so they won’t bother you again (one will leave a Medipack). Then go all the way W and left around to the other side
of the palace (S), to that dirt patch next to that huge statue and approach it
facing W and a bit to the right. Ride the bike slowly into the pit under the
breakable floor. Go down the ramp timing the flames and all the way down a
barrier will lower (only with the Quad).
Take the South Bridge Key
from the statue. Turn around and go up the ramp, you can leave the Quad here.
At the U-bend in the ramp, look down in the water and spot a Medipack, climb or
drop down and get Secret #2, a Medipack
from the only safe spot in the pool. Climb back up the wall and go all the
way up and out of the pit. Go to the nearby Bridge over the canal.
South Bridge, 2 Buddha Offerings,
(lower the W Bridge).
At the South bridge; use the Key. Cross the bridge (you cannot take the
Quad), go right and come to a Minefield. Next to it is a Buddha Offering on a pedestal and next to that a lever on the
block, use the lever and get a screen of a bridge (W) (1/4). Go to the other side, get the Second Buddha Offering and do the lever, another screen of the bridge
(W) (2/4). Go back over the bridge.
Go back around the Temple to the Quad room (N side) to get another Quad.
Take the quad out and go right to a Minefield in the back, turn left there and
go all the way to the end (SW corner). Leave the Quad there.
Climbing the Pit: Revolver, Mine
Detonator Body.
Be careful as there’s a concealed pit under that leave cover behind the
poles and some crocs might appear (kill them with the Quad). Stand near the
fence in the far away (SE) corner and face E, hop back into the pit grabbing
the edge and drop to a slope, grab the edge. Pull up, back flip roll and grab
the pole to swing into an alcove. Run jump out to the left (N) and grab the
crack in the wall, go all the way right to that crawlspace and get Secret #3,
Bazooka ammo and a Medipack.
Safety drop into the pit, collect Revolver,
Flares, the Mine Detonator Body and Revolver
ammo.
In the middle of the pit is a jump pad, looking up SE where you can spot
that sloped ledge. Stand behind the pad, hop on the pad and hold the forward
key to land on the ledge. Grab the edge,
pull up and back flip with roll to grab the pole and to swing into the alcove
in the corner again. And from the alcove jump to grab the crack in the S
wall, shimmy left to get out of the pit.
Destroy the Campsite, Mine
Position Data.
From the pit go N to a camp site, left of the tent are three barrels,
shoot the first and get a Medipack,
shoot the second and a bloke with a Machete appears, get him close to the tent
so he will destroy it (you might have to find the best position, or ride the
Quad into the tent and let him hit you then). You can now get the Mine Position Data where the tent was.
The Mine Field, the North Bridge
Key.
Go N to the next fenced off area and go to the right of it where you can
enter, Lara looks at the tile, stand on it and combine Detonator Body and the
Data so you can use the Detonator to blow the mines. Cross the field and get
the North Bridge Key. Go to the
buildings (E) and use the key for the Bridge.
North Bridge, 2 Buddha Offerings.
Do the same here as you did on the other side of the Palace and after
getting the 2 Buddha offerings and using the two levers (3/4 and 4/4), the W bridge comes down.
W Bridge.
Go there, cross the bridge and pull the chain to lower the E bridge. Two
wraiths appear, go back over the bridge to those white things and they will
kill themselves. Get back on the Quad
The E Bridge, use the Offerings.
Go over the E bridge to place the Buddha Offerings at the statues and
the big door opens. Go to the right and shoot the grates in the window to get The Bell clue. Look at it and find the
clue where to place that pushable Bell (5N 1E 2S). Move the bell there and a
block goes up N and a door opens W (The position is 3xN in front of the
entrance to the bridge). Go N first to use the pulley wheel and a barrier goes
down S, go there, shoot the grates from the window on the left and grab Flares first. Then use the lever on the
block to get a wall Torch (1/3)
burning.
The Courtyard, the Jungle Sword.
Now enter the courtyard through the door W, go shoot two Stone Monkey
warriors and go right around the fountain pool, find some mushrooms and in the back corner between the floating plants you
can see something floating (NW corner
of the pool). Dive in and grab the Jungle
Sword. Climb out and go to the opening N.
N, Blades and Spike logs.
Jump in to the right (out of the way of the moving blades) and turn
left, hop NW through the middle of the blades and pass through the swinging
monkeys to get to the lever that will ignite another wall Torch (2/3). Back and get through the blades
to the other side of the room where the spikes are. Run onto the spikes as soon
as they’re up and jump over the rest. Throw the lever to activate the exit door
and go back to the entrance door that will open. Out in the courtyard go around
to the opening S. Near the pool side are also some Mushrooms.
S, Barrier Puzzle.
Straight in front is a tile, stand on it and see the barriers left and
right go down. Turn right and spot the stone patterns that are different from
the rest. Jump only on those to get to the lever.
W: from the Tile hop twice E, then turn a bit right to hop diagonally to
the one against the other wall walk a bit forward and one more hop to get
behind the barrier and throw the lever to activate the exit door.
E: Go back to the tile and do the same at the other side (no clue on the
floor there but it the same pattern
as you just did) to get another
Torch (3/3) going. Go out of the
room to the courtyard.
W Side, Spikewall and Torches.
Go into the opening W, run to the right and throw only the levers
opposite the burning torches, so #2, #3 and #5, turn left and run to side flip
into the opened gate. Wait for the wall to pass and use the sword on the lever
to activate a raising block in the courtyard.
And More Challenges Upstairs.
Go out of the room, and find a new block on the corner of the pool, jump
to the S side balcony. Go right around to the far NW corner and climb up
through the middle arch left (W). Jump down into the room and collect Secret #4,
the Uzi’s and 8x Uzi ammo.
The Yang Piece.
Go out this room and straight into the opposite room with the boulders
hanging. Just run to the closed door (it will open) and grab the Yang Piece, turn around and Lara will
look up to a tile over the closed door. Run to the door, duck against it and
just wait till the door opens and roll out, it will take a bit though. (When the spike above Lara stops, she can
stand up with no harm). Go to
the right around to the S side where a Torch now burns. Run around the corner
keep going right through a door (W).
The Yin Piece.
Here you’ll have to find and trigger the 5 tiles that make sound and
de-activate the spike trap that way (it’s no problem if you touch other tiles).
First tile is around the corner to the first right (1), go to the third tile
(2) on that side, run against the column in the corner touching the edge of the
tile (3). Run diagonally to the second one (from the entrance) on the other
side (4), turn and run agaınst the column in the left corner (SW) and the
spikes de-activate. Go get the Yin Piece
and combine the parts into the Yin
Yang Symbol.
Use the Symbol, the Serpent Gem.
Out of the room and straight to the door to use the Symbol there, shoot
the two soldiers without going into the room and stand on the marked entrance
tile to dim the red light and make the room safe. Go get a Medipack left by a soldier and the Serpent Gem in the back.
Use the Serpent Gem, the Symbol
Puzzle.
Go out and to the right (E) side of the balcony and open the door on the
right with the Gem, shoot the barrel and then the Snake and grab the Symbol Puzzle. Look for a statue
somewhat smaller than the others (NE), face E and pull it out of the corner and
push it into the room. Get in the corner for Secret #5, 3x Revolver ammo.
Block and Torch puzzle.
Get out and to the opposite door, open it with the Puzzle Piece, Clear
the blocks out of the NE corner to find a Torch,
hop on the blocks to ignite it and then ignite the 4 wall scones in this room.
This will lower a block. Go there and
use the pulley wheel to activate another torch in the courtyard. Leave the
torch and go to the N side of the balcony and right hand door.
Obstruction Floor, the Golden
Buddha.
Look closely at those little objects on the floor and go in the
direction they are pointing (you have no other choice) and you’ll get to the Golden Buddha. Go out of the room and
straight, to place the Buddha next to the door.
Yikes, Spikes and a lot of
Goodies.
Save at the entrance! Look up right around the corner to spot the jump
lever way up, go left and stand back at the wall to jump to the pole to swing
to the next and to a break ledge, run curving right and jump to the next, right
again and jump the ledges to the lever, a gate opens up. Jump over the spikes
into the gate, grab a Bazooka, Bazooka
ammo and a Medipack. Left is 3x Revolver ammo. Hop back into the
room; shoot that wooden contraption (W) with the Bazooka. Go get the Bow and the Sight, you’ll see what you have to do with it.
Go out and make your way down to the ground floor, go out E to where you
left the Quad, look up on the palace over the bridge and shoot the Bell. Go
around the Palace to the other 3 Bridges and shoot the bells there. Cross the N
and S bridges and go left and right to two Shiva statues, shoot them (or avoid
them). Grab the 2 Wooden Cog Switches,
so you will end up with 4 Wooden Cog
Switches.
Use the Switches, the Escape.
Go W to where the tent was and use the 4 Switches next to the door in
the wall, go in, open the doors and take the Quad out…
